Tim,

I want to run the test bench for mysql and that requires the DBI modul I do
not have on this AIX box.  Unfortunatly I also do not have a C compiler.

I need the AIX 5.3 64-bit version of DBI compiled.  I also need the
DBD::mysql module compiled.

Any hint where I can find these ??

Sorry to bug you directly, but your name I could find the easiest.

Thanks ahead,

János

P.S.  This is what I got so far :)
